Do we need to get older to get wiser, or can we learn from sharing mistakes [10]
Art Juice: A podcast for artists, creatives and art loversAbout this episode
There is great merit in sticking with something long enough that you actually benefit from your own mistakes. But we hope to make things a bit easier by sharing some of the mistakes we've made - from email marketing, understanding how to talk about yourself and your work and simply not knowing how to sell paintings because they are so mysteriously different. We have a great listener question: “When do you decide when a painting is finished? So often, I like what I see, but want to push forward for something even more dynamic. I am nervous that I will mess it up (and I have!). But...always afraid I am not reaching my full potential in a particular painting if I give up too early. Help!” We have some time based suggestions - and also the two types of fear you may be having around finishing a work. Finally, we are inspired by different reactions to art in completely different contexts and scale. And Riley has a reaction to the postman ;-) Find full show notes with images at: www.louisefletcherart.com www.alicesheridan.com SUBMIT A QUESTION HERE Mentioned: Louise's 'different' painting Join our Facebook groups: Art Explorers with Alice Sheridan This Painting Life with Louise Fletcher Follow us on Instagram @alicesheridanstudio @louisefletcher_art Credits "Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License
